Yawning

2010-09-05T14:04:00.000-07:00

Yawning is an involuntary action that everyone does. We start it even before we are born and most creatures on the planet yawn. Research shows that 11-week-old fetuses yawn. There are many parts of the body that are in action when we yawn. 'Why do we yarn' is not exactly known however there are various theories.

One is that when we are bored or tired, we just don't breathe as deeply as we usually do. As this theory goes, our bodies take in less oxygen because our breathing has slowed. Therefore, yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood.

Another theory is that yawning stretches the lungs and lung tissue. Stretching and yawning may be a way to flex muscles and joints, increase heart rate, and feel more awake.

Its said yawning is a protective reflex to redistribute the oil-like substance called surfactant that helps keep lungs lubricated inside and keeps them from collapsing. So, if we didn't yawn, according to this theory, taking a deep breath would become harder and harder — which would not be good.

Yawning is
Its a subconscious human behaviour. Next time you're in a meeting, try this little experiment: Take a big yawn, cover your mouth out of courtesy, and watch and see how many people yawn. There's a good chance that you'll set off a chain reaction of yawns. Before you finish reading this question of the day, it's likely that you will yawn at least once.

Some Interesting Yawning Facts

The average yawn lasts about six seconds.

Your heart rate can rise as much as 30 percent during a yawn.

55 percent of people will yawn within five minutes of seeing someone else yawn.

Blind people yawn more after hearing an audio tape of people yawning.

Reading about yawning will make you yawn.

Yawning can also be a powerful non-verbal message with several possible meanings, depending on the circumstances..heh...

Hope teachers in the school understand this and not shout at students for yawning in the class.....

Old story - About Thoughts

2009-11-05T13:14:00.000-08:00

A Sage was walking in the forest with two of his disciples.They came across a river. They had to cross the river to continue their journey further.They saw a young woman getting washed away in the river. The sage saw this and was shocked and prayed God to rescue her. One of the disciples without even thinking for a moment jumped in to the water and rescued the woman and left her on the shore and continued the journey. All three were silent for a long time , after which the sage asked the disciple as why he touched the woman to save her after getting the upadesha for sanyasa from him.For that the disciple replied " O great Guru. Iam no bigger than you. I have a doubt. Please excuse me If I am saying anything wrong. I had left the woman on the banks of the river. But you have been carrying the woman in your thoughts all this time. Is this not a greater sin than what I did?" The sage realised his mistake immediately.

Why - OH Bangalore Girls ?

2008-11-29T13:59:00.000-08:00

Silicon Valley of India - The Bangalore.
Blr is the place where most of the South Indians would prefer to work, most even from metros like Hyd and Chn prefer to be in Blr. And many of the Techis from other places end up in Blr as they can get some good jobs here. Blr is a hub for Techis... one would have studied in some small engineering college in a small town, if they try and get a job in Blr their future is made.

I would say most of the techi companies in Blr pay a real good starting salary. The amount spent by a student for his studies during his engineering can be earned in his First month salary itself. That is how the trend is now.

Like this most of them flee to Blr for their career. The number of PGs and Hostels have multiplied like anything. People coming to Blr stay either in PGs or Hostels and they can afford for a great living in Blr.

High Salaries > LOTS OF FREEDOM > RESULT ! ?

Whats the result ? Most of them have so much of Money and Freedom that they spend lavishly. Ofcourse its their money and they spend.

MOVIES ! PUBS ! BAR ! DISCO ! BOWLING ! PARTIES

When we look at the crowd in the Discos or Pubs - MOST OF THE CROWD WD BE NON-BLRians

In India Girls consuming alchol is not at all common. Well its individual's wish - How many bangalore born girls are like that compared to others who live in Blr ? Very Very Less... Blr born girls stay with their families with their parents. So they cant go home drunk. Its just equal to Impossible.

Late night Parties and Discos - Again in this corporate world the parties and discos have increased. Just a couple of years ago all these were not so vibrant for a normal middle class family born individual. But now even some one coming from a very small town goes to parties and Discos when in Blr. Their money they spend. Yes Blr girls also have money but they have the responsibility of getting back home on time. They are answerable to their parents when they reach home very late. Yes the Blr girls party but there are lots of limitations. Most of them live with in that limitation unlike those who stay on their own in Blr.

There is an expression given about girls in Blr from outsider ...............

OHHHHHHHHHH BANGALORE GIRL !

It is thought that Blr girls are too forward. Yes Blr girls are forward in their thoughts about their goles about their responsibilites about their respect to the culture. They are bold enough to express their thoughts. Is that wrong ?!?

Then WHY non Bangalorians give that expression and a kind of OHHH opinion about Blr Girls ?!

People who speak so STOP it... just STOP it

Disclaimer : These are my individual opinion. I have expressed my heart and therefore do not hold any responsibility. Non bangaloreans do not take this offensive.

Stanford Engineering free Courses

2008-09-26T05:02:00.000-07:00

Comp Science & Robotic Courses

Stanford University has launched a series of 10 free, online computer science (CS) and electrical engineering courses. The courses span an introduction to computer science and an introduction to artificial intelligence and robotics, among other topics.

The free courses are being offered “to students and educators around the world” under the auspices of Stanford Engineering Everywhere (SEE). Each course comprises downloadable video lectures, handouts, assignments, exams, and transcripts.
The courses are nearly identical to what’s offered to enrolled Stanford students, according to the University. However, those taking courses through SEE are not eligible to receive Stanford credit for them.
Course participants do not register, and have no direct contact with Stanford instructors or professors. They do, however, have the ability to communicate online with other SEE students. A detailed SEE FAQ is available here.
The University says SEE’s initial courses include “one of Stanford’s most popular engineering sequences: the three-course Introduction to Computer Science taken by the majority of Stanford undergraduates, and seven more advanced courses in artificial intelligence and electrical engineering.”
Specifically, SEE’s first 10 courses are…

Introduction to Computer Science:
- Programming Methodology — CS106A
- Programming Abstractions — CS106B
- Programming Paradigms — CS107
Artificial Intelligence:
- Introduction to Robotics — CS223A
- Natural Language Processing — CS224N
- Machine Learning — CS229
Linear Systems and Optimization:
- The Fourier Transform and its Applications — EE261
- Introduction to Linear Dynamical Systems — EE263
- Convex Optimization I — EE364A
- Convex Optimization II — EE364B
The SEE courses have been released under a Creative Commons license, in order to “[encourage] educators and learners around the world to incorporate the video courses and materials into their educational endeavors and to form virtual communities around the classes,” the University says.
The license under which the courses are being released is the Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license. According to the University, this license stipulates that “original content [can] be the remixed, tweaked, and built into new non-commercial content as long as the original source is credited and the new creations are distributed under the identical terms.”
As noted, the courses are nearly identical to the ones offered to Stanford’s registered students. However, some content has been omitted in cases where a copyright holder’s consent could not be obtained for releasing the material under the Creative Commons license. There are also “a few other exceptions,” according to the University.
Jim Plummer, dean of the Stanford Engineering School, says the University is “excited to extend our teaching and learning opportunities worldwide through SEE. We hope SEE will enable a broad range of people to learn, to share their ideas and to make their own contributions to knowledge.”

Poetic Resignation

2008-06-20T08:44:00.000-07:00

The name is good, the brand is big
But the work I do is that of a pig
The work or the brand; what is my way?
I don't know if I should stay.

To work, they have set their own way
Nobody will care to hear what I say
My will be NULL, they wont change their way
I don't know if I should stay.

The project is in a critical stage
But to do good work, this is the age
This dilemma is killing me day by day
I don't know if I should stay.

The money is good, the place is great
But the development is at a very small rate
Should I go for the work, or wait for pay
I don't know if I should stay!

The managers don't know what they talk
The team doesn't know where they walk
That's a bad situation, what say?
I don't know if I should stay.

I can go to any other place
But what if I get the same disgrace
I can't keep switching day by day
I don't know if I should stay.

The -ves are more, the +ves are less
Then why have this unnecessary mess
N o more will I walk their way,
It's all done, I won't stay.

Thanks & Regards

Employee

Manager Response

Reply: What I want to say? (Manager)

The decision is good or decision is bad
Only God knows still I am glad
Keep moving in life that is what I can say
If you feel right go in the same way

May god give you the work, the challenge you want
Anyway there is always a second chance
Chances are there, grab them snatch them
That is what I can say

Keep on jumping companies to get more and more and more....
That will keep you always a fore (Even to me)

From my experience I can tell you
Being in software development is like taking hell out of you

You are frustrated since you have no quality work
And you were frustrated because you had quantity work

It's always like that previous job was better than the current one
And expects the new job will be much better than this one

But what you get is a frustration level up to sun
Than you will again send the resignation like this one
This is all what I want t o say

Have you completed all the formalities?
Filled the form and got it signed from department humanities (HR)

Once done you can take all your cash
But don't refer others as they will follow you're a*s.

At last I appreciate your contribution to the company
Even though there was not any....

You will keep a copy of this with you for FYI
Don't feel shy

As I also got it some time back from my old manger say Hi....

That is all what I want to say.

Thanks & Regards

Manager

One day while walking down the street a highly successful Human Resources Manager was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.

"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had a Human Resources Manager make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," said the woman.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in."

"Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven", said the woman

"Sorry, we have rules..."

And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down down down to hell.

The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow Executives that she had worked with and they were well dressed
in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.

She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kind of cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the
elevator.

The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St. Peter waiting for her.

"Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her.

"So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity,"

The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell."

So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell.

When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.

The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.

"I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable."

The Devil looked at her smiled and told...
**"Yesterday we were recruiting you,
Today you are an employee.*!! !!!!!!!!! !!!*
